There is a small group of buildings with walls in clay construction in the front of a cave at the edge of a not very deep canyons. The name derives from the right at the cave entrance standing about three meters high Cuezcomate, a traditional form of corn memory. Design and findings prove to the colonization of the Mogollon and the Anasazi cultural tradition. Further investigations have not yet taken place at this location.

In the same canyon there are other caves with prehistoric buildings, including the Cueva de la Golondrina.
